Book description
Learn about the International Criminal Tribunals with iMinds insightful
knowledge series. The concept of prosecuting war criminals is not unique
to the modern world. Individuals who breached the rules of war were
tried in Ancient Greece, and probably earlier. However, those early
prosecutions were carried out by national courts, generally by victors
against the vanquished, and so could hardly be described as examples of
fair and impartial international justice. Underpinning the prosecutions
was a notion that, even in war, there are certain rules which must be
obeyed. The first notable international attempt to codify these rules of
war was the Geneva Convention of 1864, followed by the Hague conventions
in 1899 and 1907. iMinds brings targeted knowledge to your eReading
